#1 Rated Junk Removal Service in North America

Tag Archives: clutter

Soon all across the Hudson Valley you’ll be hearing parents call out early in the morning, “It’s time for school!” It is an accepted rule of parenting that the older a child gets, the harder it is to wake them up in the morning. Just think of all those times they woke you up before dawn! Practicing the “early to bed and early to rise” routine a week before school officially starts is a good way to get everyone on the same time schedules… at least when it comes to the morning. Here are some other ways to help get back into the school routine again:

Get the Right Gear

Preschoolers have a lot of cute options for backpacks but they’re not always practical. They need to hold a sweater, hat, gloves and the lunch box. Make sure there is room. As for the older kids, they might seem uninterested in school supplies but if you pick out the wrong color folder it will be “drama.” Get them involved with a trip to the office supply store. You should also plan ahead to make sure everyone’s rain and winter gear still fits. Don’t wait for the first storm to realize there are no boots or umbrellas in the house.

Do Your Homework

You’ll be telling that to your kids but there is some level of the homework that you need to do as well. The more you can familiarize yourself with the course and text book, the better off you’ll be in a position to help your kids with their assignments. It also helps to set up a consistent time for homework and a dedicated “zone” to get the work done. If you start off with good study habits early on, then those habits will carry through up to college. That means not letting the kids be distracted or procrastinate. They have to expect their work is going to be checked. That will keep them focused.

Remove Clutter

Up in the kid’s room, there are probably a lot of things that can be gotten rid of. How many articles of clothing did they outgrow this year? They might have even outgrown their bed. One kid can generate a whole pile of things to toss. More kids and you can imagine how big things will get. When that happens, it is time to bring in Junk King Hudson Valley. It will only take one fast session with the team from Junk King to get all that clutter gone from the house. Turn to Junk King Hudson Valley for a decluttering appointment to help you get back into the school routine.

Now that Thanksgiving is just a pleasant memory, it is time to get serious about the holidays. The clock is ticking and we’re only just weeks away from it all coming together. Will you be ready? It will help to take a moment and plot out your holiday strategy. Here’s how to ready for the holidays:

Make a List

Just like Santa, you need to make a list and check it twice. This list should be all the people you plan on getting gifts from immediate family to the garbage collectors (if they’re on your list!). As you make the list, you might already have the gifts in mind (hint: gift cards). It is important for the next tip:

Make a Budget

A major cause for stress during the holidays is spending too much money. Usually, that stress doesn’t show up until after January when the bills start rolling in. Setting a budget might mean getting creative with your gifts. A tin of home baked cookies is a great gift for coworkers and not expensive.

Shop Ahead

Your shopping has probably kicked into gear. The goal is to get everything done long before that last week prior to Christmas. If you’re sending out packages, then they have to be in the mail by December 19th in order to make it to their destination by the 25th. As you’ve no doubt discovered, online shopping is a great convenience. You could literally spend two hours shopping on line and get all you need vs. six hours at the mall. A lot less stress, too!

Bake Ahead

If everyone is counting on you for your cookies, then you’ll want to bake ahead as much as possible. This is actually something you can do in conjunction with your online shopping. As those cookies are baking, you can be shopping. Two tasks complete.

Plan Fun Events

It shouldn’t just be prep/work for the holidays. You’ve got to have fun with the family. Schedule a movie night for those holiday favorites. Plan on an outing to look at lights or take in some other great Hudson Valley holiday event. These are the moments that holiday are really for.

Are you planning a move this fall? You may find that the place you’re moving to has less storage room than where you’re currently living. One solution would be to rent a storage unit for your excess stuff. Before settling on a unit there are some things that you need to be aware of. Here’s what you want to think about regarding a storage unit rental:

Immediate Access

Other things you put in the storage items that are going to deal with much later or will you be constantly going in and out to access some of that stuff? That should determine where your storage facility should be located. You don’t want to drive across town to pick up a few things. Fortunately, no matter where you live, chances are there will be a storage unit facility within a few miles.

Consider the Space

Every storage unit facility offers a variety of spaces in all different sizes. It might help for you to go and walk out the space and measured for yourself before deciding on which one works best for you. If you’re in a situation where you can project that you’re going to be adding your storage unit, then it might be best to get the next size up. You don’t want to constantly be moving in and out of a storage unit.

Entry

Many storage units allow for 24-hour access. However, some facilities are more restricted. They may even charge fees for after business hours access. You shouldn’t have to pay to get to your home stuff. But also be practical. Do you really need to go to your storage unit at three in the morning?

Climate control

If you are planning to put anything in storage that you would consider delicate like an antique furniture or collectibles, then you might want to look into a climate control unit. That can prevent what you have in storage from being warped by humidity. That’s a major consideration especially in the summertime.

Smart Packing

You want to be smart about your packing. Not only should you keep an inventory of the boxes that you putting in there but also you don’t want to pack any rubbish. As you sort through your belongings at home, you may want to put Junk King Hudson Valley on standby.

Are you thinking about having a roommate move in? As with all things in life, there are pros and cons to explore. Here’s what you should be thinking about:

Reasons for Having a Roommate

You’ll Never Feel Lonely

Just because you have a roommate doesn’t mean you have to become best friends with that roommate. However, there’s a lot to be said for not living in isolation. Even the simple gesture of being able to check in with someone at the end of your day makes for a pleasurable living experience.

You’ll Have Help

Having a roommate is often very convenient especially if you have things to take care of around the house like plants or pets. It also means when you go out of town that someone will be looking over your place. You won’t have to stop mail. Your roommate can also help with some of the cleaning and shopping. If they’re going to the dry cleaner, then they could pick up your items as well. It’s a win-win

You’ll Be Saving Money

The biggest bonus for having a roommate is saving money. Because you’re splitting the rent, you might be able to move into a larger apartment with more room. Splitting the utility, Internet and cable bills will also be a big help. If you can cook with your roommate, then you’ll save money because cooking for two is actually less expensive than cooking just for one.

Reasons Against Having a Roommate

You Want More Privacy

You may be the type of person that prefers living alone. There’s nothing wrong with that but having a roommate means you’re going to need to share things whether you like it or not. Even though you don’t have to ask permission with your roommate, you still need to inform them of things like overnight guests or when you’re staying out. You would be doing that if you were living on your own.

You Don’t Want Drama

You may spend a lot of time screening for potential roommates but that doesn’t mean you can always screen out the drama. Along with the roommate comes all of their “baggage.” That includes romantic relationships and family squabbles. It’s easy to see how you might be pulled into those situations.
